We prove the non-planarity of a family of 3-regular graphs constructed from the solutions to the Markoff equation x2 + y2 + z2 = xyz modulo prime numbers greater than 7. The proof uses Euler characteristic and an enumeration of the short cycles in these gr ...
We describe an injection from border-strip decompositions of certain diagrams to permutations. This allows us to provide enumeration results as well as q-analogues of enumeration formulas. Finally, we use this injection to prove a connection between the nu ...
The present article deals with conceptual and methodological questions at the base of a research project of settlement history of Albania in the 20th century. We focus our interest on the identification of all local units and their population. In order to ...
We review combinational results to enumerate and classify reversible functions and investigate the application to circuit complexity. In particularly, we consider the effect of negating and permuting input and output variables and the effect of applying li ...
We present an efficient, modular, and feature-rich framework for automated generation and validation of complex structures, suitable for tasks that explore a large space of structured values. Our framework is capable of exhaustive, incremental, parallel, a ...
In this paper we propose a reduced basis hybrid method (RBHM) for the approximation of partial differential equations in domains represented by complex networks where topological features are recurrent. The RBHM is applied to Stokes equations in domains wh ...
We present an extension of Scala that supports constraint programming over bounded and unbounded domains. The resulting language, Kaplan, provides the benefits of constraint programming while preserving the existing features of Scala. Kaplan integrates con ...
We give two impossibility results regarding strong encryption over an infinite enumerable domain. The first one relates to statistically secure one-time encryption. The second one relates to computationally secure encryption resisting adaptive chosen ciphe ...
We present a method that is based on the Ladd-Frenkel (LF) thermodynamic integration for the study of the rigidity of networks of particles bonded together by short-ranged square well attractive potentials. We show that, by taking the limit of the attracti ...
The authors define a family of functions by starting with (complex) exponentials and closing under some basic algebraic operations, integration, and solution of certain systems of differential equations. They then show that for every recursively (computabl ...
